Why don't we JUST LEAVE IT THE WAY IT IS.............

  If nothing ever changed in contesting...

  We wouldn't have a SOA category because packet spots would not be allowed in contests

 We all would be logging with paper and pencil since computers give you an unfair advantage

 No one would would be SO2R because it gives you an unfair advantage

 There wouldn't be a M2X category because there are already too many categories that "dumb down" the results...

There might not be a NAQP because that meeting in the smoke filled room at the ARRL Convention
in Lousiville , KY  in 1980-something where that the idea for the NAQP was formed (after the ARRL discontinued the CD parties) might of never taken place because contesting became so boring no one was interested anymore.


Change is what keeps contesting alive and interesting. If the want is there for something.. i.e a new category, a new rule.. the  contest sponsor should try to fullfill that need..
